if you search broadcom for the drivers the vista driver set will work on XP

hi I have the same computer and my dvd player doesn’t seem to work, I think it might be a driver, because the sound just keeps jumping.
Where do you think I can fix it.
thanks

My brother purchased this machine from Best Buy…seemed to be a good deal. It is just too slow with Vista. I ripped Vista out and put XP Pro on. System runs great!!! Only problem is I cannot find the correct driver for the broadcom 802.11 g/b WLAN for XP so therefore the wireless is not working. Still looking.
